[CHARTS + SALES] GUILTY - second topic

[andrepaul]

I don't know if it's true but according to sponichi, she's first.

[somethinglost]

Well the extra sales day was never an issue before, so ayu should be okay. ;]

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

Suspense. Can't wait O:!

[ayumisrael]

I don't think avex buy copies but I do think they might boost copies to stores, make countless special GUILTY counters and put a lot more promotion stunts in stores and streets. ^-^
They might provide like extra X10 (not + 10)copies to any store than usual just to make sales at this point better and after it will be #1 (if they did it at all and it succeeded) stop providing copies and let them sell normally, maybe.

Wow, this is gonna suck if ayu is #2.

[catur]

how many hours again?

[somethinglost]

I can't wait for the official sales!

[WillofDusk]

^way to go
Why would they spend money on such a thing like that ~
Ayu is a great artist and we should believe that

[somethinglost]

~anticipation is killing me~

[octocoffee]

-reads through last few pages- HOLY WOWZERS! That's close. It's like...a better version of the Kanye vs 50 Cent thing here in the US XD

[somethinglost]

It's funny, my last.fm for this week has Ayu and Kobukuro really close at the top.

...random, but it's a nice coincidence.

[norain]

This is really bad though. As we've noticed, she only sold 400k in two weeks, while Secret sold 386k in one week. Ayumi should've easily had 450+k and we wouldn't have had to worry about the sales or being #1. This is probably bad. In the end though, I'm pretty sure Avex will strike a deal with some company to report "more sellings" so that she can get #1 and she'll never know about it. Nobody will speak of it. She'll just be #1 somehow.

Right now it looks like Ayu will debut with about 450K, only 44K less than Secret did in it's first two weeks. So far so good.

let's go to japan and make sure "i am..." charts again XD

[catur]

owww.. man.. its is 7 JAnuary isnt??

[truehappiness]

That would be odd if it was like:
"Kobukuro's extra day did not count, as it was unfair." XD

[LAZYdog]

I actually find it amazing that Kobukuru are getting these sales when their album has been out six days longer than Ayumi!

They are a very popular boyband (when popular and boyband go together...) so it's not really surprising.

When are the charts supposed to update?
